Dedicated Win Server

[SgtCanuck]

If i start clean and install the DATA files from CALL OF DUTY and COD UO cd's to my directory HOW DO I update the COD origin to 1.4
Patch does not recognise intalled game.

Is there a zip file with the patch for servers using only the data files copied to the dedicated direcotry?

Reason i am asking:

I dont want to install the game via installer - its a dedicated server

However i want both COD and CODUO maps available for rotation.

and patched to 1.4

What i have done is copied the data directory to my SERVER

First the origin cod,
then COD UO
however my original COD is 1.1 how do i update it to 1.4 update package wont recognise the files (This is because i did not use installer i copied the files over - dedicated server)

Is there a file or way to update the game without having it installed completly within registry and all?

I think you have to install them to differant directories. UO is patch version 1.41 so it may also bring your regular COD up to date as well. Sorry, not much help I know. I just installed them regularily and used the switch command in my .exe to run the dedicated server.

Well i tried both ways,

After getting UO working i went back to COD original and sure enough it was ver 1.1,

So wiped that clean,
started over,
Installed COD 1.1 updated to 1.4
Installed COD UO
Created my MP Shortcut,
Added my PB.CFG, CODUOdedicated.cfg and all my gametype IE: TDMMAPS.cfg DOMMAPS.cfg .... to the same directory UO was installed.

Added my switches to my shortcut and wham it loads my UO, then PB then map rotation perfectly. However i wonder if using installer process would load more crap and cause system to run slower?

I know with PB my script is huge and turned down all the scanning and downloading pluss the automatted messaging,

BUT Still i get major lag after 8 users on the server,

Running P4 2.4 512 Cach INTEL TRUE, with 1 GIG memmor on 2.4 DL and 800 K upload connection. and PERM IP.

I have Gamespy 1 and its master0 and master 1 servers with CODAuthorize and CODUOMaster and INfinty ward master servers listed.

Do i have to many master servers? is this causing some unnessary packets. (I heard if you dont have them all COD places yourserver on ban list for not having CD Authorizing working - is this still true?)

If i can i would like to just have one master server listed,


My current MAXRATE is set to 18000,

Any feedback would be appreciated,

OH YEH,,

MY coduodedicated.cfg has at the end the following to load my PB and Map cfg.s

// Load PB Config file
exec pb.cfg

// Load Map rotation cfg file
exec. tdmmaps.cfg // here you can add your own pref game type maps.cfg (Make sure you place all the cfg's into your UO dir)


PS> if anyone wants let me know i can post copies of my cfg's for samples.

RUDEDOG!!! let me know if you would like a copy to review and maybe make availabe a suggested CFG sticky post? were we can compare and share cfg's

Might be cause of this :
My current MAXRATE is set to 18000

And this :
on 2.4 DL and 800 K upload

You need to lower your maxrate, since your UL rate isnt up to the job you set it to.

Thanks,

WIll push it down to 7000,

Any idea or suggestions at what MAXRATE i need to set it to.
I have tried dif settings,
i tried the MAXRATE calculations and yet i dont even come close to one that makes any sense.

HELP!
